So where do I begin?! First off I must say life is AMAZING!!! The last few months have been crazy!! I have to say it hasn't been easy but it has def been worth every emotion I have felt.
When I went MIA I was telling y'all about a new job!!! Well I took the new job and I absolutely love it!!! I have been here 4 months now and it has been the best 4 months ever. I work at a bank in Kosciusko as an ODP administrator!!! What does ODP stand for?! Over-draft privilege!!!
Update on my love life!!! Jeremy is still the bet ever!!! We live together and I'm more in love with him now than I was 2 years ago!! He hasn't put a ring on it BUT wedding plans have already begun so stayed tuned cause the ring is coming!!
Lizzie Mae- well she is more Rurnt than ever!!! It took her awhile together use to living in a new house but now she is the ruler once again. She is so funny and I can't imagine life without her. Now due to the new job I get to spend my lunch break with her and she enjoys that time so much.
Healthy lifestyle- Back in march I was
Trying to learn to be more healthy. Well people I have lost a totally of 15 and down a pants size and shirt size!!! I get up at 5 every morning and run 2 miles!!! BIG accomplishment for me.
New hobbies- OMG I live pinterest. At first I would pin stuff just to look at now if I pin it I try it. I have done so many projects off of pinterest and I'm so proud of myself for not being scared to try new things. I have been antiquing furniture just the past 2 weeks!! It is turning out so good. I will def have to do a post on my projects!!!
Well I'm going to leave you with a picture overload of the past few months just so you can have an idea of what I been doing. I love my life:)
Hello did y'all forget about me?! I have missed my Lil bloggers so much!!! I have so much to tell everyone!!! I am getting up some really good posts I promise!!! So be ready cause I am so ready to share what has been going on in my life and hope y'all are excited to read my life update!!!
Anyway I am not going to whin and complain cause I have a bunch to share!!!!
Acourse yall should know that me and the boyfriend got a house a few months ago.
Well this weekend we worked on landscaping the back yard. Now we really didnt have to do that much except plant flowers but I have to admit I was super nervous!!!! I wanted our backyard to be fun and vibrant with colors. So not much I can really say except I was so Proud of myself and I love it. Like last night after we got finished I ran inside got showered, got a glass a wine and sat outside on the porch and watched the sun set.
Anyway I took pictures of the work we did which I have a couple more ideas I want to do but that will
have to wait til next paycheck. So here we go. . . .
What do you guys think?!? I should have taken before and after pictures but I
never remember to take pictures til after Im done. This is my first time really attempting
flowers cause I have always been scared of killing them and that I would buy the wrong
type of flowers. Jeremy's mom and sister went with me and helped me so that made me
not feel so scared!!!!
Jeremy got us set up with Netflix last week so Saturday and Sunday night was spent on the couch watching
movies!! We started watching a tv show called Prison Break and wow we are hooked!!! Do yall have Netflix?!? If sodo you recommend anything good to watch?!
I know some of yall or wanting an update on the new job!!! Well I was offered the job last Wednesday!!!
YAY!!!! But just got to wait for my background check and drug test to come back stating that
I am not on drugs and that I havent killed anybody!! Hopefully I will hear back soon!! So thank yall so much for the prayers!!!
Also good news I have lost a total of . . . . . . . drum roll pahlease!!!
5.2 lbs.
WOW!!!!
that is all I have been saying I know to some that is not alot at all but to me it is a major accomplishment
I have honestly been working so hard at doing a bunch of cardio every day!!
I get excited everyday to go home just cause I know I am going to the track and going to push myself to go that extra lap. While I still have so much room for approvement I am just so proud of myself. I have changed my lifestyle and prob because of that added a few years to my life.
So enough about me braggin about my yard and how much weight I have lost
I am off to catch up on yall blogs and see what yall have been up to this weekend!!
OMG I feel like I am so far behind on this blog. So I am fixing to get caught up and
hopefully FAST!!!! Now where to begin!!!
Grandpaw!! - Thanks so much for all the prayers!! He is still at home and doing good. He now calls me everyday so we can talk to each other. The reason he calls me is because when I call him he doesnt hear the phone ring. I really enjoy our lil 5 minute phone conversation every day. I have to share what he told me last week.
Pawpaw: " Honey, How much do I owe you for getting my clothes
done."
Me: " Pawpaw, you dont owe me nothing I was happy to help."
Pawpaw: " No now how much do I owe you."
Me: " Pawpaw I dont want your money."
Pawpaw: " Girl what the hell am I going to do with you. Do you want me
to whoop your ass now or wait til Christmas."
Me: " Well Pawpaw you can wait til Christmas."
Pawpaw: " No I am going to do it now and then do it again at Christmas."
Sorry it might not be that funny to yall but it makes me laugh everytime I think about it!!!!
My Dad - Well I finally called my dad and apologized for the hurtful words I said to him. He said it was ok but he still want have much to do with me. I have seen him a few times but he is short with me so I dont know all I can do is pray about the situation.
My New Healthy Lifestyle - I am still doing very good. I still am keeping track of my calories and still staying within the number I want to. I have been still running which is starting to feel much easier. I can do 3 laps around the track which is 3 quarter of a mile. I dont run the 3 laps without stopping though but when I first started running I couldnt do one full lap. I can now at least run one lap without stopping!!! YAY!!! I also am really getting into Zumba (which I did a post about) I really love it and want to look into getting some Zumba DVD's so if you have any suggestions let me know.
New Job- The other day I mentioned a new job possibilty!!! Well i got a call last Wednesday asking to come in Thursday morning at 7 for an interview. The interview went good everyone really seemed to like me and alot of laughing went on which I guess is a good sign. I should find out this week if i got the new job. So please send prayers up.
Tax Season- Thank God!!! This is almost over:) Tax season is so stressful and so tiring. This right here is why I have been MIA so much here lately cause by the time I get home and workout I am done for the day. I am in the bed every night by 8:30 sometimes I fall asleep on the couch before then.
New house projects- This past weekend we got alot done at the house. Jeremy and I worked til 12 on Saturday. After we both got home and ate lunch we got out in the yard. We have 2 huge pine trees in our front yard which is great for shade but OMG they make such a mess in the yard and flower beds. So all day Saturday we worked and sweated alot of colories:) off working in the front yard and backyard. Sunday we put a ceiling fan in my bathroom which is oh so nice.
Jeremy- I am more in love with him today than I was yesterday. He has helped me grow into a much better person and I know he is my present and he is my future!!!
I really think this is about everything that has been going on!! I have such a boring life really but it seems
crazy to me alot of the times.
Ok so now I need your help with something!!! I know a bunch of my followers are people that workout so
I need to know what is your fav workour attire. I have been working out in t-shirts and just shorts but I sweat like a man and I just think I need something else cause all my shirts are stained so bad. TMI?!? I am sorry but yeah I sweat bad. So I need some good ideas on what to get to workout in!!!
Well that is all I got today. I keep thinking one day I will have some interesting to talk about ahhaha a girl can dream right?!? I also have zero pictures except of Lizzie Mae cause well she is the only one that does anything ever exciting. Hope yall have a blessed week!!!!
Hey ladies!! I am still so behind on EVERYTHING!!! but I just had to share something with yall.
So I got this for my birthday from my boyfriend. This was something I had never tried but it was something
ok well it was the only thing I wanted for my birthday. So yesterday I said I was getting back on track with my healthy life style change. This is what I call it cause I dont like the word DIET!!!
Anyway!!! the results are in and I absolutely love thsi work out. It comes with a belt that you wrap oaround your waist and you put the wii remote in the belt pocket which should be on your right hip. I chose to do a medium intensity short class. The class lastest about 30 minutes but I swear I felt like I didnt work out I mean yes I was sweaty really bad and well when you sweat all your deo off I mean you did something good. It so reminded me of nights out dancing with my friends and the moves to me were easy to pick up on. I honestly can not wait to get home and do it again tonight.
Now do I think I will get results from this?!?! HECKYES!!!!! I woke up this morning and my abs and back are so sore. I am going to say this was from the zumba. BUT after I did the zumba workout I went to the park for some joggin and walking. BUT I have never been sore before when I have went for a jog and walk except in my legs and well this isnt my legs people.
So bottom line is if you are tired or bored with your normal workout then I would def recommend Zumba Fitness. I am sure I looked like a complete idiot while doing some of the moves ok ok all of the moves but that is the great part about it NOBODY knows how retarded I looked except my dog Lizzie Mae and well she whined and looked at me like I was crazy.
Yellow people!!! Is it just me or is every thing freaking YELLOW!!!!! OMG my car is suppose to be silver but NAWP!!!! its yellow, my swing on my backporch is yellow, and my pants when I sit on the swing turn yellow. I do not like pollen at all, and frankly pollen doesnt like me either. (cough,cough) Yes sinus drainage and all!!!!
Last week I was MIA but thankfully I am getting back in my routine today. My grandfather got to finally come home Friday afternoon and so far the new medicine is working wonderfully!!! Praise the Lord!!! Thank you to everyone that has been checking on me and praying for my grandfather.
Now last week I quit counting calories cause I was in such a hurry and I had enough stress on me. I did however try to make healthy food choices. Like I tried eating subway everyday!!! I also got in zero workouts last week and I felt so bad about it but helping my grandfather was much more important. HOWEVER, I finally decided to weigh again. I hadnt weighed in the last 2 weeks that I had been counting calories and working out. Well I hadnt weighed cause I didnt have a scale But my boyfriends wonderful parents got me one for my birthday (yes that is what I asked for) and I stepped on it for the first time Thursday morning and BAM I had lost 3 lbs!!!!!!! since my last weigh in. I was so excited and hope to continue on this healthy journey which I picked up on again today.
I feel so out of the loop on the blog world I havent been able to read anybodys blogs. I sure hope everyone is doing good and please be patient with me while I catch up on this. I am still waiting to hear from my new job opprtunity. It will be much better for me. I am so hoping I can get an interview:) It will be closer to my house. Right now I drive 30 minutes to work and 30 minutes home everyday which gets very old. This new job will be only 3 minutes from my house. Also right now I have no insurance and with this new job I will have insurance. Lets see with the new job I will be making more than what I am making now. I will also have vacation days plus sick days right now all I get is vacation days. So please say a quick prayer that if it God's will to have this new job that I will get it.
Hope everyone has had a great Monday and that this new time change hasnt screwed yall up to much. Sorry this post is so short got to get a bunch done before I leave work and I have a date tonight with my sweet boyfriend. We are going to the park to run together:)
I am so sorry for this post is not going to be a happy positive post.
But instead it is going to be sad and very hard for me to write.
I am warning you cause if you would like to hit the red x in the top right corner
NOW is def the time to do!!! I need to get this off my chest cause I feel like
I cant handle much more.
I have one grandpaw who is the most special man in my life. He is 86 years old and
such a blessing in my life. He taught me how to fish, he taught me all about chickens, he taught me
how to set a trap, and he even taught me how to drive. Anyway he got put in the hospital Thursday.
At this point I am not certain what is wrong but today we should finally be able to get answers.
My dad is my grandpaws only child and well I have never been so disappointed in my father as I
am right now. So I have never been so mad and had so much angry towards my dad before and
I said alot of mean things that I meant but oh God I shouldnt have said to him. I was raised to respect my parents
just like my dad was raised to respect his. Ok so let the story begin.
Thursday, March 1, 2012
This is the day my gramps had his neice, Patsy take him to St dominics Hospital (ER) in Jackson, MS. He was having bad stomach pains. The doctor in the ER had scheduled to do a scope on my grandpaw to decide what the problem was. Right when they were about to do the scope they had to stop because some blood work came back showing that his potassium level was three times the number it should be. Also meaning it was at stroke level. After some further tests the doctors found that his kidneys werent functioning like they shouldeither.
The doctor decided to keep pawpaw and postpone the scope. My grandpaws neice didnt come prepared to stay so she called my dad and he said to leave my grandpaw by himself. My dad finally called me at 7 to inform me that my grandpaw was in the hospital.
Friday, March2, 2012
I talked to grandpaw almost every 2 hours. My dad got to the hospital at 10:30 and left at 12:30. My grandpaw was alone all day and night except for those 2 hours.
Saturday, March 3,2012
I worked til 12 then went with my mom and nephew to a play in Jackson. My dad went to the hospital and sat with my grandpaw for an hour. I got to the hospital at 4:30 and stayed all night taking care of my precious grandpaw. My grandpaw just talked and cried to me cause he said he was so glad that I came that he hadnt liked being alone. By Saturday night Grandpaw really started hurting in his stomach aftrer asking him several questions. I came to realize that my grandpaw hadnt used the bathroom since WEdnesday night. My grandpaw has a very bad stomach and has always had to take something so he can go to the bathroom. I talked to the nurses and informed them of this situation cause acourse my dad hadnt told them this. Saturday night was a rough night for grandpaw for he was in alot of pain and couldnt get easy cause he needed to use the bathroom and well couldnt.
Sunday, March 4, 2012
This is the day where I am prob going to cry during this whole paragraph. My grandpaw didnt want to be alone which I do not blame him. He asked my mom if she would stay with him and my mom said she would. So the plan was for Jeremy to pick me up from the hospital and I was going home. Jeremy's family was having a small cookout for my birthday. Well plans changed very quick like. As you know my parents are divorced, my mom took it upon herself to call my dad and tell him that she was going to stay with his dad since he wouldnt take care of him. Well my dad cussed my mom out and hung up then turned around called my grandpaw who lets remember is in the hopsital and cussed him out for talking to my mom and for wanting her to come stay with him. Let me explain something my grandpaw and my grandmaw are two people who I will not allow to be mistreated. So my dad informed my grandpaw that he was done with him. He wanted nothing else to do with him and that he wouldnt be back to the hospital to. Well at this moment I have just arrived home and call my grandpaw to let him know that I made it home safe. When he answers the phone he is in tears and I can barely understnad him. So once I realize what has happened I call my dad to talk to him and when he picks up the phoen my dad is laughing!!! Oh so at this moment this is what happened. My lil devil that sits on one shoulder well he dropped kicked my angel and took over my body. I went total ape shit on my dad. It was like I was jacked up on Mt dew. I said very hurtful things alot of words that I will never be able to take back. I am not proud of this at all cause I didnt present myself nor handle myself in a respectful manner. So my dad hung up on me I did what I thought was best I took a shower, packed my bags and headed back to Jackson to be with my grandpaw. Who was so happy when I walked in that door.
Monday, March 5, 2012
I left the hspital at 6:40 heading back to Carthage cause I had to work. i am not use to Lakeland traffic at all. I also am dilusional I am going on 2 nights of no sleep so I pumped myself with as much chocolate(yes I had to force it cause yuck!!), coffee, and my dew as possible. I get informed at 2 that my grandpaw can not come home and well my dad is no where to be found. I lose my composure cause I am so tired. I leave my work at 3:30 go home take a shower and start packing my bag to go stay with my grandpaw. Thankfully my grandpaws neice Patsy called me and said she was going to stay cause she was already down there with him and she knew I needed some rest YIPEE!!!! so I curled up on the couch with my lizzie mae and spent time iwth my lil family and watched the Bachelor
Tuesday, March 6, 2012
I went to work and lord I was still tired when I woke up and felt like CRAP!!!!! I decided to be prepared and packed my bags to stay with my grandpaw. I got the call from the doctor that they couldnt let grandpaw come home yet again. So I left work at 4 and headed to Jackson to stay with my grandpaw again.
Wednesday, March 7,2012
Its my Birthday!!!! Grandpaw didnt have a good night. I got up and went to my friends house and took a shower to try to wake me up and pumped as much caffeine in me again. Headed to work and found out again that my pawpaw still couldnt come home. My mom called me and told me she wanted me to be able to spend my birthday at home and that she woudl stay with my grandpaw. My dad still ahsnt stayed once and well when he heard that my mom was staying he got pissed. My dad called and talked to me 7 times BUT NEVER once told me happy birthday he was to busy talking about him and grandpaw. So on my birthday I went home had me a mixed drink with my boyfriend and my best friend and well just relaxed. (Ill give details on my night another post)
Thursday, March 8, 2012
Grandpaw still didnt get to come home so I was headed back tonight again after work but pawpaws sweet neice went down to visit with him and has decided to stay so I can go home and get another good nights rest. I am so mentally tired and mentally confused. I am so trying to do the right thing but so confused about my dads action. My mom is doing things to get at my dad and dad is doing things to hurt her. I have called my dad and apologized for my behavior cause two wrongs do not make a right and what I said to him was not right of me nobody how he was acting. His responce to me was ok and then he said he had to go. He still hasnt told me thank you for taking care of his dad. hasnt asked me how I am holding up, nor as he apologized to me.
Overall I am just not having a good week and really need all of my blogger friends to pray for me. Most kids go to their parents when they need advice on stuff but I cant go to my parents on this. I just feel confused on right and wrong. I feel like I am doing the right thing by pushing myself to take care of my grandpaw but it seems like my dad doesnt appreciate it and he is telling people that grandpaw doesnt need anybody with him. My dad is being cold and shortand acting like I have done something wrong.
Just please take a few seconds tonight to say a special prayer for my grandpaw if you dont mind and for my family cause I feel like this is putting a big wedge in between us again. Also I put in a job application yesterday and praying that I hear good news from it.
So sorry I havent been around much in the blog world but this is why I havent been so hope every one understands.
Callie and Jess- Thank yall so much for wishing me Happy Birthday yesterday!! Meant more to me than you girls know!!!!
Callie- thanks for the award you are just a blessing in my life. I know I havent really meet you but I love you as a friend and pray you are having a good week. I been missing fitness pal:(
be as fun as I always thought a normal birthday should be
Every year on my birthday it just always reminded me of how
I didnt have alot of friends. It was always me and one friend
and that was it to celebrate. Most of the time I would have to remind my
dad the day before or the day of my birthday.
Well last years birthday was HORRIBLE as in I cried all day long.
The boyfriend and me got in a huge fight. I think I even told him I didnt
like him adn wanted to break up. It was the birthday from hell no lie. Alot of other stuff was going on
My birthday went missing the day before didnt tell anyone where she was going and well
went and checked herself in a mental institute cause my sister told her she was crazy!!!
Oh yes my boyfriends sister was mad at me that day cause I had went behind her
back and asked around about her new boyfriend at the time. Just awful!!!!
Alot happened on my birthday and it was the day that started a war between me and
Jeremy's family. A big war that almost brought an end to me and Jeremy:( As I sit here
and think about my birthday while yes I am so thankful that everything worked out and
we are all so happy I just dont want to celebrate this year. I feel like I brought lasts year on myself.
I dont want to bore all with all the details but just say a prayer for me cause this time is just
not so fun to me.
NOW!!!!!!!!!!
On to something more positive I have decided to try the March photo a Day challenge on Instagram.
While I am sure my photos will be nothing spectacular I am pretty excited about doing it.
Here is a list of what I have to take a picture of everyday!!
So is anyone else doing the photo challenge?!? If so let me know I would love to follow you!!!!!
So guess what I have been doing GREAT on my healhty lifestyle change!!!
I have been working out and counting calories for a total of 8 days.
I feel great to. The counting calories is a lil harder than I thought. Lets just say
it has me wondering how many calories I ate a day before I cut out fast food!!!
Even though I am sure this isnt stuff you want to hear but I am loving my routine
I have been trying to eat ever 2-3 hours. I read that this helps keep your
metabolism up?!? I have been trying to work out everyday when I
get home. I have been mixing this upu just so I want get bored. I either go to the park
for a walk/jog or I put in a workout dvd and do it. Right now I am not pushing myself
very hard on my workouts just casue I dont want to burn myself out. I usually work out
for 30 minutes. I def hope to increase this number slowly.
I am still getting up early every morning which hard for me to say this but
I LOVE IT!!!!! Jeremy has been going in to work at 5:30 so he usually leaves the house
at 5:15-5:20. When he leaves I usually check my email, get on facebook, and have
a talk with God befoer I get out of the around 5:50. When I get up the first thing I do is make the
bed (yes I am OCD) and then I take Lizzie Mae outside to walk around. I still find it so hard to believe that I am enjoying getting out of bed before the sun but I am def soaking it in while it last. Usually around6:05 I come in and fix me come breakfast. I read that breakfast is the most important meal so I def make it important. I make something differnet every morning but it always contains a bunch of fruit. After breakfast I pour myself a cup of coffee and its off to get ready for work.
Before I leave the house I always pack my lunch and mix me a spark/orange jiuce drink for the drive to work. Spark is a good caffeine powder and gives you energy. In this process I gave up Mt Dew and any other
soft drink. I tried giving up Mt Dew a few times before but I would get killer headaches and would
finally give in and drink one. So far I have not had any headaches so thank the Lord for that. Usually around 9 in the morning I will eat me a banana or an orange for at this point it has been 3 hours since I had breakfast. Then I will eat lunch at 12. I read the point is to make sure your body is never hungry. So then I will have another snack at 3.
I usually get home around 5:30 and will immediately get in my workour attire. I do not sit down
cause I am scared if I sit down I will not work out. I will work out for 30 minutes then fix something for supper.
Most of the times I try to make sure supper is my lowest calorie meal of the day. After I eat I will then shower and get in my pjs ready to start the next day!!! I am so hoping I stickto this cause I am feeling so confident and
so proud of myself!!!! It has been fun cause me and Jeremy have been working out together!!! Every morning we discuss what we are going to do that afternoon. Today the weather is perfect for a run at the park so that is what we have scheduled for today!!!
So this is what my week has consisted of just working out and work and well calorie counting!!!!
I have never been one to struggle with my weight, BUT
I am one that looks in the mirror and I am
NEVER SATISFIED!!!!
With that said I also want to say I do not think I am a big girl
I wear size 6 jeans and medium tops and I can squeeze into size 4
jeans BUT like I said I am not satisfied.
I know you are saying why?!?!? I would kill to get into size 6 jeans
Well my body type is very small except right in the stomach area.
I gain weight right in my stomach and buttox region. Oh and I have
what I like to call thunder thighs. If you jiggle one of them you best watch out
is all I am saying.
Ok Anyway!!! I have been trying the last few months to lose weight.
I want to get back into a size 4 and I want to look good in a bathing suit.
Well everytime I started my "diet" guess what I FAILED!!!!
I couldnt last a week on a diet. I would get frustrated and stomp around and pout and cry.
Ok I am lieing I didnt stomp around but I did cry. I hate failing in something!!! I felt
like a big lazy head. I came home every day with the motivation to work out. I
would even get my work out clothes on and then guess what I would sit down in the chair
just to rest for a minute and well guess what
I NEVER GOT UP!!!
I kept getting on facebook and blogger and seeing all these people talking
about workouts, the gym, the scale, and running.
I was so mad and I would start stuffin my face as fast as I could
put food in my mouth. Well I am proud to say it really looks like
all of this as changed.
I am sure you are asking how and why and when and where??
Ok maybe not all of those questions but cause I woke up one day
and said you know what I spend more time hatint my body then
doing something about it. I spend more time making up excuses than just
working out. I spend more time looking at others and being jealous of
them than being like them.
I know look at it as a lifestyle change instead of a diet.
I have been counting calories and also going ro the park and
have started running everyday. So for the last week I have cleaned out
the pantry and restocked it and now that I am looking at it differntly it doesnt
seem so hard. Before it was about losing weight now I look at it as I dont want to lose
my life at a young age. Now my no means can I say I have it all figured out nor am I trying
to brag about it but I am very proud of myslef because before I barely latest two days and now I am going on a
week!!!!
I got on pinterest this morning and needed some motivation adn some drive to keep it up. And boy pinterest
was def the place to go cause I am ready to get to the park now. I am not a runner nor have I ever been a runner. But I want to be one bad cause my boyfriend is a runner. Lets just say I SUCK at it
I can barely run a half a mile. Yes you can laugh at me. But after being on pinterest this morning
I am super pumped to run my half a mile when I get home.
So if any of my followers have any advice or tips please leave me a comment or
email me!!!! Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
(quit looking at the computer screen funny I am fixing to explain)
I am NOT a morning person. I am one of those people who has to set my clock
twenty minutes before I absolutely have to get up yes which means I
have to hit the snooze 20 minutes. Why?!? Because I feel like
I am going to die if I dont do it, hahaha I actually
have no clue why I feel the need to do this but I have already told yall I
AM A WEIRDO!!!!!
Also, I am one of those who is running out the door to work still not ready for work.
I get to work right at 8 well ok I am lieing 8:02. I dont want to talk to my boss cause
I am still not awake and Im frankly pissed off that he is so happy.
AFter a cup of coffee ( Callie, Are we still friends??) and a can of Mt Dew I finally have
a smile on my face and ready to conquer the world. I guess I should mention that this
is usually around 10 in the morning before this happens. Now listen I am not
somebody who goes to bed at midnight. I dont have the nickname G'Maw for
no reason. My bedtime is 9 everynight.
Well this week I am COMPLETELY opposite. Like people either I am sick and need a shot OR
even worse I am scared aliens have abducted my body hahahahaha!!!!
Now to some this might scare them but the aliens can stay cause I am liking the me this week!!!
I have to be out of the bed by 6:30 every morning so my alarm is set for 6:10 well guess what time
I have been getting out of the bed?!?!?!
5:50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This means something big in my house like I dont feel rushed in the mornings.
I get to work not only on time but I also get to work early.
I even have time to sit in my chair and drink a cup of coffee and check the weather.
Also last night I went to the park and ran a half a mile and walked a mile.
Ok I know running a half a mile isnt alot but people
I DO NOT RUN!!!!
So me doing that was like a big celebration in
my house hold. Like yes I had a
glass of wine. Thats normal right??
Also this morning I got up at 5:45 and did jumping jacks. And I did 50 of them
I feel like a totally differeny person and like really enegized!!!
So I saw this saying on Pinterest and I wrote it on a sticky and put it in my car and on
my desk at work so maybe I will keep this up.
I also wanted to give a book review. WHAT?!?
Im telling you I dont know whats going on.
Anyway I recently read the biography
about Kris Jenner.
Now I am one of those who never misses an episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians,
Kourtney & Khloe take Miami, Khloe & Lamar, and Kim & Kourtney take New york!!!
Yeah as you can see I have been slightly obsessed with them. I did however think that
they were all spoiled rich kids who needed to be knocked down a few notches. I
especially thought this in recent month when all this with Kim K's divorce and well
surely you know what I am talking about. I almost didnt want to read Kris Jenners book
BUT like my last post I truely try not to judge people.
WOW!!! is all I can say about the book cause it was amazing I finished it in like 3 days.
She talks about her entire life in this book from childhood til now. She talks about her marriage to
Robert Kardashian and how she cheated on him. She talked about her divorce and acourse it was
something that in a way I could relate to. She also talks about OJ Simpson and Nicole Brown.
It is a good book and it kept me wanted to read more. I was actually sad when I turned the last page.
It def made me think differently of her cause she has worked hard to get to where she is at.
I do still think her kids are spoiled but it def made me think wow this woman has went through alot.
Also on top of reading books I love music. I might be very late to this ball game but have yall ever heard
of Girltalk??? Well if so why in the heck didnt yall tell me about them?? I have been listening to them all
week long and put their songs on my ipod and well I think this is why I ran so good yesterday. This is my fav song so take a listen. Doesnt is just make you want to get up and dance and/or workout. I think it is great workout music.
I have noticed alot here lately where alot of the blogs I read have
been talking about random facts about themself.
So I have decided to do it myself.
As you have read I am going to list 25 facts!!
Why 25 cause well that is my age but I must admit I am terrified that
I want be able to come up with that many cause I am pretty lamo.
So let the list begin. . . .
I have never been on an airplane before cause Im am terrified
As I said in my last post I do like chocolate cause its black and gooey and well I just dont like it.
I hate sweet tea (well any kind of tea).
My biggest fear in life is bad weather. Thunder, lightning,wind, hail omg I am having an anxiety attack just thinking about it.
I have never had a pedicure before nor will I ever. Why?!? I hate feet. I hate feet touching me, I hate people looking at my feet, and the thought of people touching my feet grosses me out.
I had braces on my teeth for 6 LONG years. I got them right before my 4th grade and got them off my 10 grade year.
I love music. Like its my addiction, my hobby, my life. Music is my escape. When my parents were always fighting I would turn the radio or my fav cd wide open and just sing and sing and forget about life. Still til today when life gets stressful I get in my car crank my music up and just drift away.
I love making people feel special. I dont care how you treat me all I want is to make people smile and laugh.
Im OCD when it comes to being clean. Everything has its place and thats where it needs to be. I cant not sleep at night till everything is put away and up. I can not leave the house til the bed is made. ( which I didnt make it this morning but the covers are turned back.
I have a bunch of nicknames. My family calls me Cole, my friend lindsey calls me number monkey (cause I work with numbers all day long and I like to have fun like a monkey), Jeremys family call me Nickel G.
My favorite moment of the day is when I am in the shower. Crazy right? I feel like when I am in the shower is when I do my best thinking about what I want to do that day and its like I feel so slow when I get in the shower but when I get out I feel alive and ready to go.
My favorite candy ever is gummy bears and twizzlers. I am addicted and get ill when I run out.
I enjoy reading.Rather its a book, a magazine, or somebodys blog.
I say Im sorry for everything. Worst habit ever I know and it gets on my boyfriends nerves. For example he can say I didnt eat lunch today cause the microwave doesnt work. My reply is Oh no Im sorry its my fault. I say Im sorry for everything.
I do not drink whiskey. Why?!? It makes me very emotional. One time I went out with a girlfriend walked to the car to talk on the phone got scared that cops were going to find me so I locked myself in the trunk. I sat in their crying the entire time. Yeah I am know a wine and beer girl only and leave the whiskey to Jeremy.
I am not athletic at all. So wish I was though but no I stink at playing any sport. I love love to watch sports just dont hand me a ball of any kind.
Laughter makes me happy. I guess cause I didnt hear it alot growing up. I will do whatever or say whatever just to make you laugh.
Blog world scares me. I enjoy my blog and want to meet new people but sometimes get scared that people will find me creepy or weird and not like me.
Love animals. I am that creepy animal person. My dog is not just a dog to me she is my heart she is my daughter. I am the person who crys everytime I see a dog ran over.
I cry alot. I am one of those people that will shed a tear in almost every money. Weirdo right here.
Really enjoy cooking and planning get togethers.
When I was growing up, I always wanted to be a singer. My parents told me I was crazy so I never persued it. I still love singing we have a karookee machine.
I made a cd once. Nothing fancy at all just recorded a few Carrie Underwood songs for my dads bday.
My underarms sweat all the time. It can be 20 degrees outside and well yep I will have a wet spot on my shirt from my underarms sweating.
So because of this I wera dark colors alot. Some people prob think I am gothic.
Well there you have it. Hopefully I want lose any followers from
this but just thought is would be fun to share
with yall a lil more about me and what I love hate and
well yeah you get the idea.
Hope my followers have a great weekend!!!
What you want to know what I will be
doing??
Well me and Jeremy both are going to work Saturday to dinner.YIPEE!!! Then we are going to Lowe's to get a new microwave (ours quit Monday night) and new blinds for the living room. Oh and Jeremy says he must buy a PS3. We have a Wii already but he says the PS3 is better?!? We will also prob drank and play cards or some kind of game Saturday night cause we are cool like that. Sunday will be a lazy movie day.
Hello loveies!!!! I am sorry I didnt get to tell everyone happy Valentines yesterday. Work is insane and I think I am going insane to. I miss having the weekends off so bad. I can not wait til April gets here so I can have Saturdays away from the office again.
Anyway so sorry this isnt going to be a post about me vented about how I hate work right now. I first wanted to pat myself on the back I have been eating very healthy right now and staying just under my calorie intake for the day. BUT I still havent had time to exercise!!! I am not going to beat myself up though cause at least I am back on track on eating healthy.
So I was going to share with yall how my Valentines went. It was great!!! My mom suprised me with two bags from Hobby Lobby!!! I had talked to her over the weekend about my ideas about the house decorating and she thought it was so me. I dont have pictures of everything she got me but I promise I will work on that but I took a picture of the cross she got me that I am in love with. I put it on the side table by my red chair in the living room. This cross means I am finally finished with the living room so here is some pictures.
This is our fireplace and mantle!!!
My red cross!!!
This is my red chair!! And yes that is Lizzie's but sorry
Sorry that two of the pictures are sideways I edited them and saved them turned the right way but when I uploaded them I dont know what happened. I guess I am having a stupid moment. Anyway I know the living room is nothing fancy but it is home and welcoming to us. Acourse we have two couches that I didnt take pictures. Dont want yall to think we just have my chair. Most everything in our house is hand me downs but yeah it is about money to us at all its about making the best of what you have. I am planning on getting the big blinds but on the windows cause I dont like them shades very much and I dont think I am going to do curtains at all but who knows I change my mind alot.
So Valentines Day to alot of people is about getting flowers and candy. If yall havent realized by now I am not normal. I am not saying I dislike flowers but I do hate chocolate. So I am prob one of the few girls who didnt get roses yesterday. I so dont want to offend anybody when I say this cause this is just me but I dont want Jeremy spending money on flowers that or going to die in two or three days and then I have nothing but dead flowers to show from our special day. I tell him every year I dont want flowers please be different. I guess maybe that makes me selfish but Jeremy seems perfectly fine with not sending me flowers.
Anyway sorry to keep rambling just dont want to get any hate mail. Anyway lol I got home and Jeremy and Lizzie met me at the door to give me kisses and hugs. When I walk in I see my Valnetines present!! My Lizzie Mae got me Breaking Dawn Dvd. She was so excited about giving it to me. Jeremy gave me: a bear (to go with the bear I got last year), the Vow book, Facing the Giants DVD, 2 beautiful picture frames (for Lizzies photoshoot), a clothes basket for my bathroom (I been wanting one bad), gummy bears, twizzlers, and butterfingers(the only candy bar I will eat). I also got a card from Jeremy where he wrote in it the sweetest letter ever.
For Jeremy Valentines he got the following: Lizzie got him Family game night DVD, and I made him a lil gift basket(which I took a picture)
It includes 2 cards one from Lizzie and one from me, the Fighter DVD,
Madden 11 Wii game, a typed letter from me, and his fav candy.
Lizzie Mae also got some Valentine love. We got her two new toys, a leather jacket, and a new bed for her pen. She was so excited she was running around like she was on crack or something. Here is a picture of her reaaction when Jeremy brought her Valentine present in and then I took a picture of her in her new jacket. She got mad when I made her take it off. I think she wanted to sleep in it.
She was jumping and a barking. Sorry I realized this isnt the best reaction picture.
Oh well I should get an E for effort RIGHT?!
Yes this is taking in the bathroom. Jeremy was in the shower
and she ran in there and started barking
it was like she was saying hey daddy look at me I am pretty!!
Again sorry I edited the pictures and saved them turned the right way but who knows what happened. I am sure it is the person who is operating this computer and not the computer.
Also with all this house talk I thought I would leave yall with a picture of what our house looks like. Nothing fancy again but I really love it cause it is my home and well its where me and Jeremy are starting our life together. So to me it is a mansion. For yall wondering it is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house!!
I know I cut some off but yeah you get the idea.
Oh and the house isnt yellow it is tan with black shutters not
sure why it looks yellow.
Oh and that tree in the front has been trimmed:)
What did yall do for Valentines Day?!? Again hope I didnt offend anybody with my no flowers for me comment.
No people I didnt literally fall off the wagon but I havent been doing so good with my healthy lifestyle. If yall remember at the first of the year I was going to start being healthier and exercise more. This wasnt about getting skinny it was just about being healhty. Well I missed one day and then one day turned into 2 weeks. EPIC Fail. I havent been doing good at all but I woke up this morning and I am started back today and just forgetting about the past 2 weeks.
So I am asking that I please help me stay on the health wagon this time and not fall off!!!!!
Well unfortunatly its Monday again. I am getting use to working 6 days a week though so I am not so slow moving!!! I got a bunch done this weekend. So let me recap it for you!!
Saturday I worked from 8-12 then I headed to Philadelphia to meet my sweet friend Michael. We ate Mexican which I know wasnt healthy but oh how I love mexican cheese dip. We then headed to the movie theater and saw the Vow. All I can say is wow it really was a wonderful movie. I cried alot but the tears were so worth it. I def want to read the book soon.
After the movie, I went to Walmart and got some decorating supplies!! Jeremy and I got a house together back in October and I moved in December. I havent done much decorating cause I didnt know what I really wanted to do so been doing it room by room. I also wanted to get settled in a routine and get use to living with Jeremy before I started decorating. Well know I am in full decorating mode.
The kitchen is painted orange with all black appliances. Its also in the center of the house so it doesnt have alot of light but it is my favorite place cause it is where me and Jeremy gather after work and do alot of our talking. Well I have decided to incorporate the color yellow in this room. So I am painting some wine bottles yellow and I had a sun plate that was orange that I am painting yellow. I am excited about this and hope the yellow brightens up the room and makes it welcoming. I will post pictures when I am finished.
The living room I am doing in red and black. Our living room has all windows across the back wall which I love it looks out into the backyard and out onto the back porch. So thats why I wanted more dark warm colors cause this is already the brightest room in the house due to all the windows. It also wasnt hard to go with red cause Jeremys parents gave us there old furniture which was a red couch and a red chair.
In my bathroom I am going with calm colors. I have decided to use green (like grass green) white and brown. I also think I might throw some orange and yellow in there to since my bathroom isnt far from the kitchen. The people who owned the house before us left the shower curtain in there. It is brown with swirls of green and tan color. I really loved the shower curtain but didnt know if I wanted to keep it. Well after timeI have decided why go spend more money right now when I can just use what i have.
My dining room is my favorite I think. It is done in brown and baby blue. I dont know why but I love these two colors together. When we moved in the walls were already baby blue so I knew it was meant for me to have my dinding room brown and blue. This room was the first one I finished. My dining room table is my great grandmothers that Jeremys mom refinished for me. and the buffet table is my step dads that he gave me. I love this room!!! I just never hardly go in there.
Our bedroom is dont in more calming dark tone. Our furniture is dark wood with black marble top. This was our first purchase together so it means alot. Our walls are grey and our comforter is a baby blue down comforter. I have alot of safari items in there to bring it all together. The only think I need is curtains. This sounds so redneck but I have blankets nailed to the windows to keep the sun out. I cant decide what color curtains I want yet. Ideas anyone???
I am not very artistic but I am loving the ideas I have and excited about finishing all of them. I want a home that friends feel comfortable. I dont want one where people are scared of breaking something. I also dont want to spend tons of money. I mean I dont want to spend bunches cause in a few years I might want to change up and redecorate.
Ok so I need to know something and I need somebodies help!!! How do I upload pictures from my phone to my blog post??? I feel like this shouldnt be so hard but evidently I am dumb cause I cant figure it out. So if someone could comment and explain how or email me explaining how. I am also so excited cause Jeremy is calling today so we can set up an appointment to get the interent at our house. Do you hear the angels singing?? I do.
